Frequently Asked Questions
What does the aR speed characteristic mean?
The aR (partial range) characteristic means the fuse is designed to protect semiconductor devices by rapidly interrupting short-circuit currents while allowing for temporary overloads typical in semiconductor circuits.
Can this fuse be used in DC applications?
This particular fuse is rated for AC applications only, as indicated by its specifications. For DC protection, a fuse specifically rated for DC voltage should be used.
How does the striker indication system work?
The striker indication system provides a mechanical visual signal when the fuse has blown, simplifying fault identification and reducing downtime during maintenance.
What is the breaking capacity of this fuse?
The fuse has a maximum breaking capacity of 126 kA at rated voltage, ensuring it can safely interrupt very high fault currents.
